Re: SAF v5.00 experimental (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder)

Reproduce the problem and post MePo and SAF logs.

did you find anything? i looked at the MP log and saw where it stopped and reloaded the previous window but do understand the reason why...

Re: SAF v5.00 experimental (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder)

ATI users, you wont beliewe this - there is preview version of ATI Catalyst 10.5 availabe. With this drivers, you should be able to play all h.264 videos using DXVA2.0 (Vista/Win7) including profile 5.1 and 16ref. frames on all ATI GPUs 4xxx and 5xxxx - tested on "Samsung.Demceanic.Life.x264.1080p.40Mbps.mkv" sample.

Look here: Deep in IT - Akcelerace p?ehrávání videa na ATI Radeonech HD kone?n? funguje - Informace ze sv?ta po?íta?? o hardware, software, Internetu atd.
...it is in czech, but play video and you will see yourself

About time! They have had so many DXVA issue lately its pathetic. The nice 480p DXVA bug waited a few hours of my life for sure. Thanks for the update, I cant wait to give them a try.

I can confirm this Bug. In the ATI support Forum is a thread about that problem.AMD Game Forums - 10.2 Driver breaks 480p DXVA
The problem exists till Cat 10.2 I think.
I made a post in the german forum:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/grafikkarten-468/catalyst-10-3-a-80021/#post601862
There I posted some MediaInfos.

But your news to Cat 10.5 are really nice.

Re: SAF v5.00 experimental (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder)

I downloaded and tested 10.5 beta.
I can play all my higher refframe movies now.

Im going to try a 1080p with 16 ref frames once its done dl. See how high ATI has put the bar.
iv attached a screenshot of dxva checker

[edit]
I tested the famous birdscene. Flawless playback from within MP

Re: SAF v5.00 experimental (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder)

Hey hoborg,

firstly you've done a great job

But i have some problems with the 5.0 version. Yesterday i did a clean install of Win7 and MP RC2 with the latest SAF. Everything worked flawlessly but some movies cannot be played now (Exactly: It starts, screen gets black, my receiver gets a notification about changing audio, 1-2 seconds later my receiver switches back to normal audio and then I'm at the point where i started the movie in mp). I want to stay with SAF5 because my tv switching times are so fast now, so hopefully you can find out my issue. My logs are attached and btw no error.log is created.

Re: SAF v5.00 experimental (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder)

I already posted this in ToXIc's thread: ffdshow DXVA codec gives me massive problems. You use it, too. Try changing the .264 codec to PowerDVD 9 and see if that solves the problem. Do we have anyone here who uses the ffdshow DXVA codec without ANY issues at all? I was actually pretty surprised about this, since the MPC-HC codec was my favorite one and worked flawlessly. Ffdshow DXVA sounds really good, too, but now lots of people seem to be running into trouble. I just switched codecs and thought it was my system causing the problems. Maybe not.
